Chapter 5
After watching all that, I walked toward the master bedroom.
I had once lived here, and Sebastian had decorated it according to my preferences back then.
Just as my hand touched the doorknob, a woman’s voice interrupted me.
“Are you Harper?”
I turned around to see the she–wolf Sebastian had called Emery standing behind me.
She was a bit fuller–figured, wearing a loose dress, but her eyes were beautiful–large and bright, looking very kind.
“Lam”
When I used to work as a healer, many people would ask if I was Harper.
I would always respond firmly that I was, and I guess that became a habit of mine.
She looked me up and down, then suddenly sneered. “Sebastian hasn’t told you, has he? I’m his future Luna.”
We already have a son.”
A sharp pain flared in my chest, but I was able to hide my emotions now
“I know.”
“Then why are you back if you have known?” she asked, glaring at me
“This is no longer your home. You’re just an outsider.”
She lunged at me, trying to hit me, but I caught her wrist.
“You
just had a baby, don’t let your emotions run high, it’s not good for your health.”
At my words, shock flashed in her eyes.
For some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to hate her.
Because I realized she wasn’t at fault. She was just afraid I would steal the person she loved.
“Don’t worry. Although Sebastian and I are fated mates and we promised to seal the mate bond once I come back, now that he has a child, I… won’t bother him anymore.”
As soon as I finished speaking, she suddenly shoved me away with all her strength and collapsed onto the floor,
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. ‘I shouldn’t have taken Sebastian away.”
“Harper, what are you doing?”
Sebastian’s voice came from behind me, and then I felt my body being violently shoved. The next thing I knew, my face stung from a
slap.
Everything around me spun, and Sebastian’s figure appeared hazy in front of me.
His voice, however, was loud and clear in my ears.
“Emery is my future Luna, so what? We have a son, so what?”
“She’s kind and graceful, unlike you, who only knows how to cry and make a scene, even using such tricks to bully others.”
“Harper, you really disgust me.”
“I’m giving you three seconds. Apologize to Emery right now.
Chapter 5
As my vision cleared, I saw Sebastian standing with Emery, holding her tightly in front of me.
His eyes were cold, filled with disdain for me.
Below, other pack members were watching us, gossiping,
“Damn, Harper actually came back.”
changed so much–her hair’s longer, and she’s slimmer now,”
“Why does she feel so different? She doesn’t look like the same immature girl anymore.”
In the Northern Border, I had once been shot in the leg
Because we had run out of antibiotics, I faced a great risk of death. But I remembered the herbal remedies from medical books and treated myself.
At the time, I thought if Sebastian heard about this, he’d think I was brave.
But now, he wasn’t the Sebastian I once loved.
During breaks, I would pull out a picture of Sebastian from my bag and look at it.
The other healers would joke, “Harper, you’re always so calm in the face of everything. The guy you like must be really great, right?”
Yes, I liked Sebastian because of how amazing he was.
I admired his confidence when facing other Alphas, his calmness in handling things, and his bravery in front of other pack members.
I had learned so much from him, and he had always guided me forward.
But now…
At that moment, I truly realized I no longer liked Sebastian
“I didn’t push her,” I said to Sebastian.
“She fell on her own ||
“Do you think I’ll believe that? I saw it with my own eyes!” Sebastian snapped angrily.
“I know you found out about me and Emery having a child, so now you’re breaking down, right?”
“Harper, do you know why I don’t like you? Because I hate how vile and disgusting you are!”
I suddenly laughed.
“Sebastian, do you know how many children there are in the disaster–stricken packs and how many people there need us healers to save them?”
“I really regret coming back to the pack for you.”
“My time should have been spent on more important things.”
With that, I turned and left.
This time, I didn’t shed a single tear for him
Ther
The girl who once wept quietly behind him had finally grown up.
And now, I’m leaving–for good.
